When it comes across a high piece of floor such as a threshold or furniture leg, the robot automatically activates a spring-loaded axle that raises its undercarriage. This allows it to glide over the floor without getting stuck.

The D8 is a great choice for cleaning bare and low-pile floors. It sucks up pet hair with ease and removes a significant amount of larger debris, including sand. It had a difficult time removing fine materials like baking soda.
